about

When the global pandemic and lockdown resulted in Empresarios being isolated from each other, the bredren were physically separated for months. This challenging experience brought out the best and compelled the Empresarios into new creative arrangements. The result of this experience is the four-track Warriors EP, and a new relationship was made with Don Cash who recorded additional vocals and mixed the tracks at his Connected Records studio. Empresarios mainstay Francisco “Frankie 40” Rosado is featured on each track, along with additional vocalists who add their own flex to the song.

First up is a bilingual track with a lot of heart and soul. Joining Empresarios on this track is reggae legend, Desi Hyson, originally from the Caribbean Island of Dominica. Hyson brings decades of experience from touring and performing with The Wailers, Culture, Mojo Nya and See-I. Together, Hyson and the Empresarios create a captivating and soulful roots reggae anthem, Welcome to Puerto Rico. The lyrics brings us to the beach, reminding us of sunshine and tropical vibes, while putting La Isla del Encanto on center stage. Having a reggae legend like Hyson join the Borinqueños on this track is a dream come true for the group and their creativity shines through on this classic reggae track.

Remember when our love was new? Remember when we couldn't live without our love? On reggae love song Recuerdo, both Frankie 40 and Felix “Doble” Perez are in fine form, giving us that back-and-forth harmony that Empresarios are known for. With lyrics in both English and Spanish, and a feel-good roots reggae track underneath, this song is for the lovers out there. So, grab your girl, give her a hug, and let the music sway your hips to the bass line.

Introducing a brand-new talent, Empresarios are proud to release a debut track featuring JVMPY. The young Boricua from Miami brings the raw vitality and energy of his generation to the table. Smooth delivery over minimal beats and melodic guitars sets the mood on Dime, with Frankie 40 dropping some fresh verses. Blending rap, Latin trap and reggaeton influences is JVMPY's specialty, and the young Puerto Rican has a bright future ahead of him. His words are sincere, and with a catchy hook, Dime is one of those songs that will get stuck in your head all day long.

We are the Warriors. We will not give up. We will not surrender. Guerrero is the theme of this release, the Warriors EP. As we have all learned during this pandemic, life will often throw surprises and obstacles in your way. But we will not give up, we will survive, we will thrive. This is the Empresarios ethos, and on this track, we are happy to welcome back Felix “Doble” Perez, who is a Gulf War U.S. Marine Corps veteran and now also a cancer survivor. His story, bravery, and courage continues to inspire us all, as we soldier on in life together.
